Summary
Meeting Grace, befriending them and moving aboard the Hail Mary, saving the stars together. It was the first time in many years Rocky had felt alive again. Grace had come to them from lightyears away, swooped in with the power to save Rocky's people, and made them whole again. A gift. Whether from the gods or the universe, it was irrelevant. How could anyone resist the gravitational pull that was Ryland Grace?
---
Adrian knows there's more going on between Grace and Rocky than what's been shared. If only Rocky could find the bravery to be honest.

Summary
“Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
“Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
“Had four years on ship.”
“Busy then too.”
Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
“Science!”
“Whole time science question? Four years!”
“Is much science in universe!”--
Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.

Ryland Grace’s Theory of Everything by scette
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
24 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
The Ryland Grace expelled from Earth was known for what he didn’t have; what he wasn’t. A coward forever seen as a hero, because he left.
The Ryland Grace who will return to Earth — forever cast in xenonite, forever cast in the role of a hero — will be known the same way he knew Yáo and Ilyukhina, before he remembered them. Captured in one single moment in time, by someone who loves him. Forever seen through Rocky’s perspective, because he turned back.
A hero embarks on a journey and returns forever changed. Ryland Grace doesn’t fit that mold, isn’t a hero. Might not return. Might not want to.
But Rocky thinks he’s brave.

Summary
Fact 1 everyone on the carrier knows? that Ryland Grace does not 'do' relationships of the romantic or sexual variety (well, everyone except Lokken, but she's deluding herself a little bit).
Fact 2 that everyone on the carrier knows? Eva Stratt is also yearning for her first officer, she's just a lot better at hiding it.
Fact 3 that NO ONE on the carrier knows? They're all idiots. Except Yao. He totally saw this coming.Bookmarked by randomthyme

The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.
There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.
Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?

I’m wide awake (and I can see the perfect sky is torn) by Caseyrocksmore
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026)
25 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
“Grace safe now,” Rocky repeated. “Grace safe with Rocky.”
Of course he was safe here -- or as safe as an untrained astronaut could be on a jury-rigged ship rocketing through deep space on a mission he only half understood with his alien best friend, anyway. But there had been a time…
He wasn’t ready to say it out loud. Not yet. Maybe not ever. But part of him was sure he’d experienced… something. Something worse than being held down, sedated, and then forced into a suicide mission. Something really bad. Something unspeakable.
(Grace has nightmares. He starts to piece together what happened to him before he left academia.)

Summary
Satoru Gojo is the pinnacle of strength and standing at the apex of the jujutsu world comes with a price paid in lonely hours and haunting memories.

A best friend he killed with his own hands.
The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons happened almost a year ago.
Suguru Geto is supposed to be dead.

Summary
When Suguru enrolled in the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, Yaga cautioned him about several things. He warned him about the dangers, about the sacrifices he would have to make, and about the life he would leave behind if he chose this path. He also warned him about the rigorous training that he would have to undergo and about the pain it would bring. He even told him everything about the early death awaiting him.
However, he did not warn him about his new insufferable classmate.
A canon-divergent retelling of Satoru and Suguru's relationship, from the day they met back in 2005 to wherever their story could have led them if only they had made the right choices.
28/09/24: As they now no longer meet my standards regarding my own writing, the first few chapters of this fic will be rewritten. The story will remain unchanged, but the writing will be improved.

Summary
Something hard catches on Suguru’s hand as he cradles Satoru’s head, and his whole body shakes as he realizes it’s that knife. His brain stutters over that, eyes now locked on to the sight of it stuck there as his hand hovers over it, shaking near the handle.
There’s only so much he can manage at this moment, and that… he can’t deal with that. Can’t imagine pulling that from Satoru’s head and seeing what comes after. The ringing in his ears hasn’t lessened since he reached Satoru’s body, the senselessness of what is happening hasn’t quite reached him yet.
Or
After his fight with Toji, Satoru is believed to be dead and uncovers a plot that threatens those he's sworn himself to protect.

Summary
Geto Suguru ate his first curse when he was six. He didn’t really fully understand it, at that time, perhaps if he had, he wouldn’t have started in the first place. But power swirled in the palm of his hand, cold, in sharp contrast to the heat, fear of his racing heart.
It hurt going down, his throat seized halfway in a choke, but he squeezed his eyes shut and forced it down. He teared up at the force of it, gasping for breath when it finally burst into his stomach. It tasted vile on his tongue. But he hardly notices it as he feels it uncoil from his stomach into his very bones - down to his soul.
Sweat drips down his brow, half fearful it was a mistake - his body would reject it. Instead, though, the very opposite happens. It swirls about his soul, as if it were a cat purring, weaving between his legs. As if it recognizes the fragments of his soul as its own.
It disturbed him.

The Pulse of the Machine by BringtheKaos

Summary
The Machine Herald is captured by Piltover after a failed attack on the bridge, and he is mortally wounded in the process. Jayce must risk everything to save him and repair the damage done, racing against the clock as Piltover hunts him down for treason, but the history between them complicates things. Despite his claims that his actions are no longer dictated by emotion, Viktor is still harboring anger and hatred for his exile in the wake of Jinx's attack, and blames Jayce for what happened. But despite it all, they still care about each other (in their own violent, traumatized ways) and as time runs out, necessity forces them to face the past—and each other—if they want to get out of this unscathed.

Summary
Matt's relationship with his soul is about as sketchy as you'd expect it to be.
When that soul has tiny little teeth and a distinctly feral mind of its own? Extra bad.
"Dude- did she just bite your ankle?"
Matt hums in acknowledgement, fingers never pausing as he scans through yesterday's lecture notes.
"It's fine, she does it a lot."
Foggy can't think of a single reply to that - he's pretty sure that's not how these things are supposed to go.

Summary
His grip around the neck of the clear glass bottle in his left hand tightened. The bottle was once filled with milk (he thinks?) and is now filled with a rolled piece of paper torn from his personal journal filled with… his thoughts. The contents of the page didn’t matter– not anymore. What matters, he told himself, is that the words are there now.
Which means they aren’t in him.
[Or, the one where Jayce vaguely writes a letter about Viktor and Viktor finds it and responds anonymously]

Summary
Viktor let out a sharp laugh, the sound tearing from his mouth in tandem with the wince that moving it brought. “If you think the Council cares about me because of my involvement in Hextech, you will be disappointed. They have never forgotten that I crawled up from the Undercity. They couldn’t care less about what you do with me. In fact, they might even send you a ‘thank you’ note.”
“Even Jayce Talis?” Silco grinned. “Oh, did that strike a nerve?”
“What are you even attempting to bargain for?”
“Can’t you guess? I was always told you were a clever boy.”
He blinked, thinking for a moment, the answer not far in his consciousness. Something Jayce had said about Caitlyn finding the one who had stolen their Hex Gem. “The girl. Jinx.”
Canon divergence AU where Jinx is captured by Piltover at the end of Act II. Silco takes Viktor in retaliation. He’ll get his daughter back…by any means necessary.
